I am trying to make a barcode scanner app. As soon as the camera session begins, the app crashes within a few seconds. 
I am unable to find the reason behind this. and, how to fix this one.
I have used https://www.appcoda.com/barcode-reader-swift/ to make the barcde scanner.
import Foundation
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import CoreData
enum BarcodeScanError : String{
case cameraLoadFailed = "Camera Load Failed"
case NoValidBarcode = "No Valid Barcode"
}
class ScanBoardingPassViewController : UIViewController {
//MARK: - Properties
var viewModel : ScanBoardingPassViewModel? = nil
var captureSession : AVCaptureSession?
var videoPreviewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer?
var qrCodeFrameView: UIView?
private let supportedCodeTypes = [AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.aztec,
AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.pdf417]

override func viewDidLoad() {
viewModel = ScanBoardingPassViewModel()
self.captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
self.setUpView()
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(true)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
//MARK: - Set Up View
func setUpView() {
self.setUpBarCodeScanner()
self.view.bringSubviewToFront(self.btnCancel)
self.setUpBarcodeRecognizerFrame()
}
private func setUpBarCodeScanner() {
// Get the back-facing camera for capturing videos
guard let captureDevice = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.video) else {
debugPrint(BarcodeScanError.cameraLoadFailed)
return
}
do {
// Get an instance of the AVCaptureDeviceInput class using the previous device object.
let input = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: captureDevice)
// Set the input device on the capture session.
captureSession?.addInput(input)
// Initialize a AVCaptureMetadataOutput object and set it as the output device to the capture session.
let captureMetadataOutput = AVCaptureMetadataOutput()
captureSession?.addOutput(captureMetadataOutput)
// Set delegate and use the default dispatch queue to execute the call back
captureMetadataOutput.setMetadataObjectsDelegate(self, queue: DispatchQueue.main)
captureMetadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = supportedCodeTypes
// captureMetadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = [AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.qr]
} catch {
// If any error occurs, simply print it out and don't continue any more.
print(error)
return
}
// Initialize the video preview layer and add it as a sublayer to the viewPreview view's layer.
videoPreviewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: captureSession!)
videoPreviewLayer?.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravity.resizeAspectFill
videoPreviewLayer?.frame = view.layer.bounds
view.layer.addSublayer(videoPreviewLayer!)
// Start video capture.
captureSession?.startRunning()
}
private func setUpBarcodeRecognizerFrame() {
// Initialize QR Code Frame to highlight the QR code
qrCodeFrameView = UIView()
if let qrCodeFrameView = qrCodeFrameView {
qrCodeFrameView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.green.cgColor
qrCodeFrameView.layer.borderWidth = 2
view.addSubview(qrCodeFrameView)
view.bringSubviewToFront(qrCodeFrameView)
}
}
//MARK: - Outlets
@IBAction func btnCancelPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
self.dismissView()
}
func dismissView() {
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
extension ScanBoardingPassViewController: AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate {
func metadataOutput(_ output: AVCaptureMetadataOutput, didOutput metadataObjects: [AVMetadataObject], from connection: AVCaptureConnection) {
// Check if the metadataObjects array is not nil and it contains at least one object.
if metadataObjects.count == 0 {
qrCodeFrameView?.frame = CGRect.zero
debugPrint(BarcodeScanError.NoValidBarcode)
return
}
// Get the metadata object.
let metadataObj = metadataObjects[0] as! AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject
if supportedCodeTypes.contains(metadataObj.type) {
// If the found metadata is equal to the QR code metadata (or barcode) then update the status label's text and set the bounds
let barCodeObject = videoPreviewLayer?.transformedMetadataObject(for: metadataObj)
qrCodeFrameView?.frame = barCodeObject!.bounds
if metadataObj.stringValue != nil {
captureSession?.stopRunning()
debugPrint("Valid Barcode found (metadataObj.stringValue!)")
if let boardingPass = viewModel?.parseBoardingPassString(boardingPassString : metadataObj.stringValue!) {
let unitOfWork = UnitOfWork(context:( UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.newBackgroundContext() )
unitOfWork.boardingPassRepository.saveBoardingPasses(boardingPass: boardingPass)
unitOfWork.saveChanges()
print(unitOfWork.boardingPassRepository.getBoardingPasses(predicate: nil))
self.dismissView()
}
}
}
}
}
The camera doesnt get struck. But, the app gives an lldb everytime within a few seconds.
